ASP.NET MVC2 + Ninject + NLog (+ shared hosting?) = NullReferenceException

Question

I have an MVC2 app that's based on the Tekpub Starter Site, so it uses Ninject for dependency injection, NLog for logging, and a bunch of other libraries in various places. As far as I can tell though, it's these that are causing my problem.

Everything works beautifully on my PC using the ASP.NET dev server (Cassini) but when I deploy to the server (it's a cheap shared hosting deal), I get a NullReferenceException that seems to be related to Ninject instantiating the logger.

Here's the relevant bits of my Global.asax.cs

protected override void OnApplicationStarted() {
    Logger.Info("App is starting"); // <-- I think this is what's causing the problem

    RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
    //MvcContrib.Routing.RouteDebugger.RewriteRoutesForTesting(RouteTable.Routes);
    RegisterAllControllersIn(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
    SetEngines();
}

protected override IKernel CreateKernel() {
    return Container;
}

internal class SiteModule : NinjectModule {
    public override void Load() {
        Bind<ILogger>().To<NLogLogger>();
        // and a couple of others...
    }
}

protected void Application_End() {
    Logger.Info("App is shutting down");
}

protected void Application_Error() {
    Exception lastException = Server.GetLastError();
    Logger.Fatal(lastException);
}

public ILogger Logger {
    get {
        return Container.Get<ILogger>();
        }
    }
    static IKernel _container;
    public static IKernel Container {
        get {
            if (_container == null) {
                _container = new StandardKernel(new SiteModule());
            }
            return _container;
        }
    }

The nlog.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" >

    <targets>
        <!--Useful for debugging-->
        <target name="console" xsi:type="ColoredConsole"
         layout="${date:format=HH\:mm\:ss}|${level}|${stacktrace}|${message}" />

        <target name="file" xsi:type="File" fileName="${basedir}/App_Data/Site.log"
         layout="${date}: ${message}" />

        <target name="eventlog" xsi:type="EventLog" source="My App" log="Application"
        layout="${date}: ${message} ${stacktrace}" />

    </targets>

    <rules>
        <logger name="*" minlevel="Info" writeTo="file" />
        <!-- <logger name="*" minlevel="Fatal" writeTo="eventlog" /> -->
    </rules>
</nlog>

The NLogLogger class:

public class NLogLogger:ILogger {

    private Logger _logger;

    public NLogLogger() {
        _logger = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();
    }

    public void Info(string message) {
        _logger.Info(message);
    }

    // similar for Warn, Debug, etc

If I comment out the logging in OnApplicationStarted, I get a different exception. I'm not sure why it's happening, because there shouldn't be any logging happening so I'm not sure why it's trying to instantiate the logger.

The only way I can get the site to work at all is to fake out the logger entirely, which I'm not at all happy with. This is my first time playing with ASP.NET shared hosting, so I'm a bit at a loss. Anyone have any helpful suggestions?
